Title: Letter to Angus McKay from William Kennedy:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "April 5th 81 - My dearest old chum, As work is utterly out of the question for me to night I thought that I might profitably employ myself for the remainder of the night by writing to all my old friends whose old and treasured epistles I have just been perusing over and over again for the last hour or so - And finding that all of you without exception express in each of your letters the pleasure that you ever derive from receiving a letter from an old school mate. I thought that I could not possibly do better than write you all a few lines in turn although after having read through your old letter I feel that I justly deserve to be [?] by one and all of you for my neglect and laziness in not writing to all of you more frequently than I have done in the past and although I might plead a heavy pressure of work as my excuse for not writing you [?] I do not think such and excuse would exculpate me in the least bit. Now please do not be disgusted at this dry and hard style of writing old fellow. You remember we are told somewhere in scripture if I mistake not, that out of the fullness of the heart proceed the words of man, or something to that effect. Well just so it is with me All the old letters which I have been reading, coming as they do, from all parts of the world you may say - from yourself at Carlton, from Mowat at Edmonton, from Larry at Toronto, from Rorie in South Carolina, from San Francisco and from Machray at Cambridge, and all of them teeming as they do with warm and kindly sentiments as well as those from old "Scout" in British Columbia have made my manly though tender heart full ever to overflowing. When I had finished the perusal and the re-perusal of them all the first thing that I said to myself was "by jove, I'll write to dear old Angus". Well enough of this - call it by whatever name you please. I must be getting on to the real gist and substance of this epistle, or you will at length be saing "Aut insanit homs, aut versus facit" - Have you forgotten your Latin? And first of all I must tell you that in accordance with your instructions to your brother James, which be delivered to me, with respect to the collar for your dog of famous name and fame I racked thoroughly the poetical departments of my brain and by [?] perseverance, mingled at the same time with talent for poetical composition to acclaim degree, I managed to turn out some couplets which I thought to be extremely suitable for a Doz collar, and which I handed over to James for inspection and I desired him to select one of them but alas! His criticism proved too severe for my verses - they were all repudiated - and all deemed equally unsuitable for the Collar of so distinguished a day as "Suabs or Nibs". From that time the poetical and our within me has completely died out, it having been, I thin previously exhausted by my two [?] "to the moon" of which you may probably have heard. But while [?] on this subject I must thank you for the high compliment you paid me in selecting me to write the verses I would [?] I had been more worthy of the high honour paid me! Jimmie is see is your frequent correspondent and from him I suppose you get all the current news at this place, so I will refrain from wearying you with a rehash of the same old story. To a fellow who is staying all along at this place, there does not appear any change though perhaps to an old boy like you (pardon me you are a man now) a very great change might be visible, were you to revisit the scenes of your boyhood once more. There is always the same routine day after day without any intermission at which one is apt to repine, at any rate I often do I know; I sometimes long for change. I suppose I do not fully realize that a persons school-days are really the happiest days of this life, although even now I look back with [?] pleasure on the days when you and I were in the noble old 5th form together, the prestige of which we managed to keep up wonderfully well. We have a Debating Society formed, in which we all take a very great interest. We have one or two very good speakers especially one a Mr [?] whom you possibly may have seen last summer out there as he was coming in from the North - he takes rank as a speaker with Mr McKenzie who used to take a leading part with Debates of our old society...."

Title: Letter to Angus McKay from [?] MacFarlane:
Institution: Univesity Library, University of Saskatchewan
Description: Letter reading "Personal. 251 Colony Street, Winnipeg. 14 Sept 1903. My dear Mr McKay, Your welcome favor of 12 Aug came to hand on the 12 instant - just one month on the way! Yes, the Manitoba Victory was splendid! I hope British Columbia will follow suit; but most of all I desire to see the - aggregation at [?] turned out. I earnestly hope and believe this will be their certain fate so soon as they give the people of Canada the chance for doing so. I am sorry to hear of good old Pierre Saliberte's departure altho' he had outlived the three and even four score years limit given to man. I suppose old Payette is not much behind him in age. Where are [?] [?] and the other [?] of the older family now? There are other old servants of the Company I used to know but I suppose they are nearly all dead by now? I think Mr [?] will do well - and no doubt his utmost up in MacKenzie River, altho' matters there are not by any means, in a favorable state from the Company's stand point - the opposition traders get too buy half of the Furs, in Peace River Athabasca and McKenzie River Districts, A "penny wise from [?] life" . [?[ is not adapted from the Fur Trade business of these times - but the Authorities know all about and no doubt will think their own plan of conducting the same, the best. I thought they would have [?] on the charge of English River District, with an increase in pay, but the [?] Macdonald may succeed while you have less to do and are therefore better off unless the pay was greater. I suppose you will endeavor to qualify for the Pension, which in some cases should have been much more liberal than is the case at present, altho' there may be an improving modification of some of its provisions later on. So far, they have withheld the small bonus (so far as the [?] were concerned) from J.M. McDougall and King, altho' fully [?] herewith, while I have been shut out of the both Pension and Bonus; but I am making a stand in this correction and trust to succeed. It is _ to withhold a life Pension from the above, myself and other who have retired since the agreement of 1893 and I also think of those who left before should now receive something for the remainder of their lives, but I am not very hopeful [?] [?] [?]. J. McDougall has separated from his wife and he feels the loss of this children very much - she (the wife) is more to blame than Mac. He talks of leaving Winnipeg for year or so soon as he sells the new house and furniture he purchased a year ago this fall! He has not been very well in health of late. King has returned and has bought a residence in Winnipeg. J.K. McDonald has also left, but has not yet decided what to do for a living. They seem to be getting rid of the older hand as soon as possible - Bill [?] who has for many years had the softest [?] in the service, is holding on hard [?]. Winnipeg is nearly a third layer now than [?] when you were here a few years ago and it is bound to be a great City in time. I hope you and Mrs McKay are having a good time of it at Prince Albert. I did not see the Halls when they were here recently. The [?] is still in the East! With an [?] regards to Mrs McKay and to yourself I am in haste, Yours very sincerely [?] MacFarlane"
